Bats Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Haha, maybe I should have used that one for the puzzle - short answer is I don't know, I hoovered up the photo from somewhere on the 'net and the caption only mentioned the Maverick (Incidentally I have some reservations about referring to something with that sort name with a feminine pronoun). My best guess though would be a Busby Mustang 2, I've seen a couple of different canopy configurations on them and at least one with a similar cowling.

pylon500 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Interesting! Initially thought it was the English 'Leopard Jet', with American rego to throw us, but looked up Leopard, and it's different.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bats Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I remember the Leopard was a perennial favourite in the English flying magazines I used to pore over - never did work out how they planned to seal that huge tip-up canopy to enable pressurisation at 55'000 though. Funnily enough I tripped over a video of one of the prototypes flying the other day - not sure if it was just the small size, but it seemed to approach at a fair clip.

red750 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 It appears no-one has had success with this one, or wants to take a crack at it, so here it is. This is a Vought VS 326, built on the airframe of the Vought TBU-1 Sea Wolf, and used as a flying test bed for Pratt & Whitney engines.Other photos show it with different engines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willedoo Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Or was that the Antonov Camel? Getting close. Another hint: rear loading, depending on the model it can carry a payload of 45 -50 tonnes of camel, goat, illicit arms or paratroopers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 What designation was given to a limited 4 place cabin taildragger which was not put into production, but was re-used 15 years later on a long running high performance retractable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 29 hours and no bite. Answer - Beech Model 33. Original design, never got beyond a plywood mock-up. Later used for the Debonair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 That drawing of the Beech Model 33 looks a bit like a Globe Swift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
